Ram and Ian are a MUST

I really wanted to hire live musicians for my ceremony and I’m so happy that I chose Ram and Ian! They made the whole process so easy, no ask was too big, and my guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing they were! They responded fast and we’re a highlight of my day! Both are talented musicians and I am so happy to have shared their love of music during our special day.
